You may have familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic condition that causes elevated bad cholesterol (starts at birth if not before) that can shorten life and cause early heart attacks if not treated early in life- this is likely FH if you are not a diabetic and if your thyroid and kidney function are normal (i.e., have no other medical reason for such a high level of LDL-C),.
